Fight Night: Round 2 is the sequel to EA Sports’ acclaimed Fight Night 2004. The coverboy for this game is Roy Jones Jr. The total punch control returns from Fight Night 2004, and in my opinion is a great feature to this game. You can control your maneuvering, your punching, and your blocking with this feature and it makes the game very interesting. Another addition to this game is the Haymaker feature, to me it’s an interesting concept but has ruined the Fight Night experience on Live for any xbox console as many people can just start the fight and it be one and done. A Haymaker is a punch that if it connects, causes a lot of damage which can stagger the victim and may cause an instant knockdown, regardless of the victim’s health or stamina status. There is also a great choice of boxers to play as and if I remember correctly, a create a boxer feature.
Overall, I give it a 7.5/10
